This topic might have a better name.

Not once it is stated in A Town Called Mercy that "Mercy" is located in Nevada. As per T:NO RW, this should be moved to either Mercy, or Mercy (town)

Talk about it here.

Mercy was a town in Nevada. (PROSE: A History of Humankind) According to its residents, Mercy was a place of second chances.

In 1870, the town was in danger of starvation after the arrival of Kahler-Jex, who was being hunted by his cyborg Kahler-Tek for his crimes as a war criminal. Around its border, a circle of rocks and wood was placed so that no one could escape or enter. The Doctor became US Marshal of the town following the death of his predecessor. (TV: A Town Called Mercy)

Behind the scenes

  • Although the script for A Town Called Mercy never specifies that the town is in Nevada, set decoration heavily suggests that this is the case. Isaac's office, for instance, prominently features a reward poster issued by the office of the Governor of Nevada. The southernmost point of Nevada is also roughly two hundred miles from the Mexican border, as stated by Isaac. A History of Humankind later clarified that the town was indeed located in Nevada.
